| Abstract: | The paper deals with a comparative study of the growth of free-living and immobilized predatory bacteria of the genus Bdellovibrio in the presence of toxic concentrations of urea and phenol. It was found that the cell wall of bdelloplasts plays a protective role in the adaptation of bdellovibrios to xenobiotics. The attachment of bdellovibrios to solid surfaces allows them to survive under unfavorable environmental conditions. |
